The fossil has proven to be a \u201clink\u201d\u009d between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr J\u00c3\u00b8rn Hurum, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US), BBC One (UK),and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida.

My greatest inspirations are among everything I see, feel and experience.\n\nGraphic design fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity. It has proven to be the most amenable driving force for translating the inner vision to outer reality. Through my posters I can express my thoughts, ideals, joys, and regrets to touch the mind and hearts of my fellow human beings. Having respected the true value of creativity, I always tend to focus on novel ideas in order to make memorable and ever-lasting works of art. I adore simplicity and minimalism and this is well perceived from the direction I take in my works.\n\nI also enjoy photography -- framing everyday life, traditions and beliefs. I do not seek to capture exceptionally rare moments and events; to me, every moment is unique and worth being read and seen many, many times. I use my photography vision in my posters, and enjoy the combination of photos with other forms of art. Through my works, I'd like people to explore life as they never had before, and to be more sensitive to minor happenings in its every aspect. I am inspired by my beautiful country, Iran, and its rich culture. There still would be a lot more to explore and experience. Here, I just framed a pixel of it!\n\n-Parisa Ghaderi", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"2984-921899@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/2984", "building_id":"1000442", "building_name":"Pierpont Commons", "campus_maps_id":"131", "room":"Wall Gallery & Piano Lounge", "location_name":"Pierpont Commons", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["visual arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Center for Campus Involvement CCI", "group_id":"1023", "website":"http:\/\/campusinvolvement.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":26, "first_occurrence":921874 } , "851-912641": { "datetime_modified":"20101111T175644", "datetime_start":"20091129T090000", "datetime_end":"20091129T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2009-11-29", "date_end":"2009-11-29", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Takeshi Takahara \"The Four Corners\" (Printmaking exhibit)", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Takeshi Takahara \"The Four Corners\" (Printmaking exhibit): RC Art Gallery welcomes A&D Professor Emeritus", "event_subtitle":"RC Art Gallery welcomes A&D Professor Emeritus", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Artist's reception takes place from 5:00-7:00 on Friday October 23.

Within this framework, the invention of the camera and the development of early fine art photography in that particular setting will be seen as the specific catalysts that brought about a new approach to painting.\n\nThe project will showcase paintings, photographs, and drawings by some of the most treasured artists in the Western canon\u2013Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet among them\u2013as well as pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray and Henri Le Secq. Inspired by the scenic Normandy coast of France, these works\u2013including representations of beach scenes, seascapes, fishing villages, resorts, and the region's pastoral beauty\u2013will be brought together with archival materials related to early tourism and regional expressions of French nationalism from popular culture for an innovative examination of the impact of the then-new medium of photography on ideas of image making, the recording of passing time, the capacities of painting, and the rise of Impressionism itself.\n\nOrganized by UMMA, this exhibition is made possible in part by the Florence Gould Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Masco Corporation, and the University of Michigan's Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research.
